KESD North & South 5-6th Grade Girls Teams Place 1st & 2nd in Haverhill Soccer Fest

October 11, 2023

“If you were to tell me beforehand, that the Kingdom East North 7/8 boy’s team would be the last one’s standing at the end of a crisp October night, hoisting the Haverhill Tournament trophy, I wouldn’t have been a bit surprised,” said coach Bias. They were able to do just that after spending close to 15 hours against some of the best middle school teams to offer in Northern New Hampshire and Vermont on Sunday, October 8th.   

The KESD- North and KESD- South 5th and 6th grade girls had a fantastic showing at this year's Haverhill Soccer Fest. KESD-North went 3-0 in their regular games versus Bradford, Colonel Town and Littleton with no goals scored against and goals contributed by Zoe Bunnell and Pheonix Newell. They met Haverhill in the semifinals winning 2-0. KESD-South played Haverhill, Groveton and had a forfeited Danville game. 


KESD North and KESD South met in the finals under the lights. They were scoreless during regulation due to a great defensive effort and a save in the goal by Trystin Hall. After a strong defensive effort from KESD South, KESD North took the win in sudden death overtime with a goal from Zoe Bunnell. Assistant Coach Andrea Day reflected on the game stating "It's always a great soccer game between the KESD North and South teams and this one was no exception." There was a great display of sportsmanship and respect between the two teams.

The Kingdom started their Sunday morning early, as they were slated with the first match of the day and of their own pool play, against a very strong Lisbon team. Even with their opponents having some strong firepower, KE were able to dismantle them, as they defeated them soundly 3-0. Which allowed them to start out strong with 3 points for the win and were also able to collect the max point total for goals (1 point per goal and up to 3). 


The Kingdom would take on a strong Littleton team next, in a pretty explosive game that ended in a 3-3 tie. “We played well, but were getting frustrated with some of the calls and the lack of them at times. We did our best to keep our composure, even after what would have been the winning goal being turned over, well after the play. This would help be our motivator for the rest of the day and into the evening” said coach Bias.
